To Walk Humbly with your God

The objectives of religious life

can be framed in the simplest terms:

to achieve

a heightened awareness

of the divine mysteries

that lie beyond

human experience,

to acknowledge

the truth and grandeur

of these mysteries

in prayer,

and the chart a personal life

that sharply accords

with these mysteries

or, as Micah put it:

"To do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with Thy God."
